Study suggests melting Arctic ice boosts nitrogen levels, potentially enriching marine life in region - Anadolu Ajansı ...

The Arctic Ocean, once locked in a vault of thick, old ice, now is transforming at lightspeed. Temperatures there are ...

As Arctic sea ice melts, new life may emerge from the thaw. Researchers have discovered that bacteria beneath and along the melting ice are converting nitrogen gas into a form that fuels algae. The ...

Melting Arctic ice is revealing a hidden world of nitrogen-fixing bacteria beneath the surface. These microbes, not the usual ...

While nitrogen was once believed to be a nutrient that was found in limited quantities in the Arctic waters, with the recent ...

Nitrogen is vital for all known life. Yet most nitrogen on Earth is in the atmosphere as di-nitrogen gas, which many organisms can’t use. Fortunately, there are microbes that can tap into this ...

The marine nitrogen cycle is crucial to sustaining ocean productivity, with biological nitrogen fixation representing a primary mechanism by which inert atmospheric nitrogen is converted into ...

The shrinking sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is, overall, a disaster. But paradoxically, the melting of the ice can also fuel ...

Most organisms require nitrogen to produce biological molecules, such as nucleotides and amino acids, but until recently, only prokaryotes were known to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere. “It’s a very ...

It has puzzled scientists for years whether and how bacteria, that live from dissolved organic matter in marine waters, can carry out N 2 fixation. It was assumed that the high levels of oxygen ...

NORFOLK, Va. — When most people think of lightning, they picture bright flashes in the sky or the rumble of thunder that follows. But lightning does more than put on a show during storms: it helps ...
